    Of course he is one of my all time favorites. Here's an article about what he has done to try and change his throwing motion for one last try in the NFL.

    I hope he makes it, but if not that he goes back to the broadcast booth and has a long and prosperous career there.

    I'll be surprised if he can change, it seems to me that for a QB esp that you can do things in practice that you can't do on the field under pressure.

    I think Robt Griffin III faces that same thing, he's an incredible athlete at QB but he is unlikely to be able to change the habits that he spent a lifetime honing and what made him successful in college.

    Good luck to them both though.

    I have a lot of agreement with you Terry.

    I have mixed emotions about Tebow coming back. I thought his broadcasting career with SEC Network was going very well.

    But like you I wish him and Griffin all the best.

    I think Tebow, Greg McElroy, David Pollock and Jesse Palmer all do a great job and represent the next wave of sportscasters in football although Palmer and Pollock have each been at it awhile now.

    I have also seen Booger Macfarland ex of LSU do a few things on SEC Network and that dude is entertaining as well.

    I think you might add Brady Quinn to the newcomer list as well.

    Pollock is good, Palmer I don't care for. Will have to wait a see about Tebow and McElroy. 8)
